Sorry I missed that!
This gives only docs:
/usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51
/usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51/README
> locate INET6
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm
/usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51
/usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51/README
/usr/share/man/man3/IO::Socket::INET6.3pm.gz
Using the find command from below (for fedora since
this is CentOS) I get
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm
This locates that package, but correct me if I'm wrong, I
don't think it finds the OTHER package that is creating
the duplicate subroutine definition for AF_INET6.
